Author Topic: If anyone needs stuff cut.. (Read 232 times)

Hey all, I have access to an 75W industrial laser cutter, that can cut 3mm acrylic sheet as well and MDF and up to 5 or 6 mm plywood. Through the way I have access to it I am not allowed to nor do I want to make a profit off of using it. SO, if anyone has a design they would like to have cut, all they would have to pay for is shipping and materials! Luckily acrylic and pretty cheap, at around $15 for a 2'x1' sheet in almost any color, and mdf and plywood are both cheap as well. I won't have access to it for a few weeks as I am on break but please comment or message me if you would like to have something cut in the future! Material and shipping costs can be transferred over paypal, and I am happy to cut things out for people(it is very fast!) so long as I don't get overloaded with requests. (doubtful

Again, if you want something cut please PM me or comment! No labor charge!

Logan, where are you based?

I'm out in California, is there something you are hoping to cut? Also, I am on break and there was a ventilation issue so I cannot cut acrylic for the next 2 or 3 weeks however after that I should be good to go!

No nothing in particular, just wanted to know!

ok haha I might try to cut a very small frame out of acrylic but I'm worried about its strength compared to just printing it in PLA

Just out of interest, is there a particular type/make of plywood preferred for laser cutting?

not that I know of... but you do have to be careful when using semiwood materials such as MDF...some have adhesives and stuff that are toxic when burnt. But any untreated plywood should work equally well so long as its not to thick.
